American Equity reported healthy second-quarter earnings today and announced new product plans, but CEO John Matovina conceded that persistent rumors of a company sale are making life tough for some distributors.

Based in Des Moines, Iowa, American Equity is partly responsible for some of the rumors. The company put out a May 23 press release confirming that it “is in preliminary discussions regarding a potential transaction,” the statement read.
